Once you have SSH'ed you your Unix server you will have several variable set by the SHD daemin, one of the se is SSH_CLIENT, e.g.:
Code:
$ echo $SSH_CLIENT
192.168.2.4 58728 22
$

The IP address being where you SSH'ed from so you may automate getting the name of where you SSH'ed from thus:
Code:
MYPCIP=`echo ${SSH_CLIENT} | awk '{ print $1 }'`
MYPCNAME=`getent hosts ${MYPCIP} | awk '{ print $NF }'`
